The following entry in jmeter.properties: httpclient.localaddress can be used to select between multiple local host ips. However, it is processed at startup, so you would need to use one JMeter instance per host, and of course you must use the HttpClient version of the HTTP Sampler. Runtime configuration of the address would need code (and GUI) changes; feel free to raise a Bugzilla enhancement request. > > Thanks! > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
